Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”
– Michael Crichton (1942-2008)

Every time you read an article saying “X community is filled with Y horrible thing,” remember this.
> Ideally finance is meant to be about allocation of capital

What does it matter what it is "ideally", if it was never that in practice? Ideally communism is a stateless moneyless classless society, let's get working on dissolving the state then?
What is the difference between your argument and a saying "the big boys know how to benefit from the corruption inherent in the system and the regulators would rather persecute a bunch of powerless people than confront the corruption in their own industry"?
Off topic, I know, but I feel like there's a nice little story to be told there :-)

Definitely. However, depending on where you live, the head of state/government may very well have gotten ~20% of the local votes, and their politics may therefore be without majority backing.

The EU parliament is a different story though, and if your representatives (assuming they got enough votes to get in, of course), can be held directly accountable for how they cast their votes.

The prime minister/president, on the other hand, might not have gotten your vote to begin with.
I want to give other browsers a try, especially Vivaldi with its many settings to fiddle. But Firefox's multi-account containers add-on is a godsend since I have to switch between multiple accounts for work.
Whats wrong with using that word even if black people are around?

If listening to a word causes you so much trouble, thats your problem as the listener, and its up to you to deal with it.
Something like par2, but modern (Unicode, directory traversal) as a single binary (in Go or Rust?).
> Personally I think the the idea that the LAN is some walled garden where it's fine to relax security is a bad idea.

It is a bad idea, but it happens in practice. For instance, I can vouch for the security of my desktop (except for the times I run some random development stuff bound to 0.0.0.0, for convenient multi-machine access). I can't vouch for the security of my printer, or my IoT bridge. As long as it stays true, someone breaching a single device on your LAN is already creating extra security risk for your other devices.
Well all these 'neo-feudalists' don't seem to be waging lobbying campaigns to get the money out of politics, right? That would be paying to reduce their own power.
I agree. For example, there's the app Oversec for Android that works with most messengers and allows to send and decrypt sent messages, it stays on top of the chat app.
Not yet, but they're on the near-term roadmap.

We've helped customers manually setup bucket replication for S3 when they've needed it. The plan is to eventually automate that, including backfilling existing objects as needed.

WRT lambda, we roughly want to conquer virtual server workloads, then containerized workloads, and then we'll hit serverless workloads. Caveat being that everybody's "customer driven" these days and we can easily shift priorities if people really need lambda support.
> I hear this argument a lot, and I'm confused. What's the alternative here? The billions these people have literally wouldn't exist if it weren't for them. iPhones and social networks and electric cars don't spontaneously materialize themselves.

These things indeed don't spontaneously materialize themselves out of thin air. They materialize themselves because of the work of millions of people. The researchers and laborers that build the foundations (internet, roads) that made the innovation possible in the first place. The researchers and other companies that build the phones, social networks, electric cars, etc that these people iterated upon. The hundreds of thousands of people that work for these companies, that actually build the phones and the cars, etc.

These people created a good iteration on an existing idea and got lucky by doing it at the right place and at the right time. Surely they worked hard, and they had some positive contribution, but they did not fundamentally change the world or create billions by themselves. If Bezos hadn't build Amazon, we would have other online shops. If Zuckerberg hadn't build Facebook, we would have other social networks. If Apple hadn't made the iPhone, we would be using other smartphones.

None of these were particularly innovative - they were all iterations on existing technology that happened to capture the market mostly by luck. Society would likely not have been significantly different if any of these had not been created, we would just be using something slightly different but very similar. Why reward individuals with such tremendous power for (essentially) winning the lottery?
I imagine that decades of brainwashing in the military can change a lot of views
Isn't that what archiving and mirroring are for? If you archive it or call it a mirror, GitHub users will understand that contributions to the repo are not accepted.
The headline is misleading. These are not rules, there is no legislation. It was a resolution by the national governments. Without the EU commission there will be no European law on this topic. That being said the letter by ProtonMail et al. is still appropriate, the reporting is just inaccurate.
> Since you asked, here's one non-truth:

No I didn't. I specifically asked for an FCC or FAA reg that SpaceX has broken. This is a very different thing.

> If you believe it's okay to lie in FCC filings so that you win awards and change policies, then that's a valid opinion to hold.

That's not an opinion I have, and I don't actually believe your claims about them lying are correct here (you seem to assume that FCC is composed of idiots), but regardless, it's completely irrelevant to the point. Even if they do that, my point that once FCC or FAA puts something official on paper, SpaceX treats the words as holy, remains.

Look back at the beginning of this thread. Someone made a statement that can be boiled down to "SpaceX ignores FCC regs". They do not do that. My entire, and only, point here was that they do not do that. You apparently seemed to take that as a "SpaceX is good" statement, and have argued against it with essentially entirely random "SpaceX is bad" statements. How the f is the failure rate of SpaceX satellites even remotely connected to anything here? Or did you just jump to it because you wanted to say something negative about SpaceX.

So I ask again: Do you know of a single case where SpaceX broke or ignored FCC regs? Not things where they did something you think as bad, but where there was a rule, and they broke it. That's a simple question.
I was at 3D0; I worked on the video streaming subsystem. so much potential, but the chips simply did not work, so the engineering became too complicated working around their bugs.
SourceForge can do that too.
Sounds like a display driver issue. Make sure to run a system upgrade and reboot.

Some Nvidia users reported success after switching from nouveau to proprietary drivers. If you're (understandably) unwilling to change out your display drivers for a single application, you might want to try forcing software rendering in qutebrowser via the config [1]

yep, currently it forces our engineers to use VS Code or a terminal-based setup (or GitHub Codespaces). Hopefully Goland / IntelliJ catches up in this year...
I think the Solarwinds breach pretty much gives us the evidence we need on this score.
Exactly, that's what democracy should be and what it unfortunately isn't. 1 Person should be 1 Vote, regardless of their wealth.
All that zero knowledge stuff goes out the window once someone deploys malicious code to prod.
I think the problem here is that we moved away from Monarchies/Feudalism for a reason. If we let single people or families completely control the direction of legislation and justice systems, at some point it will go terribly wrong. Sure right now, Zuckerberg or Musk or Cuban, might be cool dudes with the right intentions and making great things, but what happens when they're gone? Who's going to take control of all that wealth and power?

Democratic states aren't perfect, but at least there are fail safes against the wrong people having power at the wrong time. The people supposedly all collectively own the wealth and direction of a state, so a single person can never be that powerful. Authoritarianism or dictatorships will always feel appealing in the face of dysfunctional governments, because there is always someone who is actually good at they do, and effects real change (if you disregard all the usual xenophobia/populism/oppression). In this case, you can see people saying "government is not doing anything about this, so why shouldn't these people fix it". Power eventually corrupts, if not the person then its descendants, at some point it goes terribly wrong and itends up tearing a society apart. This has happened pretty much everywhere.

Also the level of wealth some people are accumulating right now is absolutely unheard of in history. You can now "easily" have a business that reaches billions of people from your basement. If this exponential accumulation of wealth continues, government as we know it will become obsolete, and democracy will stop functioning because some people just have too much lobbying power.
> GMEs share price is out-of-whack because some market participants are making decisions based off what they believe the fundamental value to be, and other market participants are ignoring the fundamentals and buying at any price.

GME's share price may be out-of-whack to those interested in the retail business.

But to the people who have (shorting) options contracts to fulfill then the share price may be reasonable, as the alternative to these people is to renege on a contract, which could bring all sorts of unappealing consequences. GME having a price of even $1000/share may be "cheap" to these people.

The same item can be valued differently by various individuals, each for their own particular reasons. This is what auctions are all about.
I agree that neither group manipulated the market.

I referenced the % just as a convenient label for that group of market participants.
Most operating systems already have a "front door" keys in the form of automatic updates certificates. Android, windows, ios, even apt get, all base their security around certificates which, if stolen, can by design lead to running code.

All the objections to end to end encryption + government access fail to mention that we already have an implicit trust in corporate certificates in the security of nearly all devices, and yet that front door was never used by hackers like everyone suggests government backdoors would be used.
You will see more and more applications being implemented for the browser. Browsers who do not support this trend will simply lose market share. Simple as that.

I’ve been using 2 hidden features in Chrome and Edge called Tab Groups and Minimize Tab Groups, which let you assign a bunch of tabs to a group and minimize them down to a size the length of text that you named that group. Color coding too. Game changer.

You can enable them in the chrome://flags and edge://flags.
> Perhaps it finally is time to come up with an entirely new terminal technology re-engineered from [almost] scratch based on today achievements and needs.

What do you mean, exactly, by that? Do you think that programs designed to work in current terminals (e.g., vim) should stop working with the new terminal technology? That seems a bit tough for progressive adoption. Otherwise, how do you think that these programs should be changed? Or wrapped in some intermediary "terminal emulator" so that they can run unchanged in the newer terminals?
Steve Jobs was known to keep his philanthropy very private, although I'm not sure he would qualify for your bar of such initiatives, considering that (AFAIK) he didn't found or spearhead any massive progressive movements.

Part of me wonders if why these billionaires have their names on these projects is to try to buy goodwill? Rather than people just hating the rich in general, if they know that Bill Gates is donating all this money and attempting to help the less fortunate, he's slightly less of a greedy wealthy bastard? I don't see a Jeff Bezos foundation, for example.
It's interesting how this flips the relationship between the original author and subsequent forks. Let's say that a fork is created, and adds some substantial new feature. It's properly tested, and perhaps even proven in production. So Ben decides he wants it to be part of the base project, and starts pulling the pieces in. Now which is the OG and which is the fork? Which should people trust more? It will be interesting to see how that plays out, in this or some other project organized in a similar way.
I read the specification, but I am really not sure I understand you here.

Say person A sends an email to B with CC set to C.
C then needs to reply to this email, but send the reply to D, with A as BCC and E as CC. From what I remember, such fine-grained mail sending configuration is not possible with DeltaChat because it does not fit common group chat mechanics.

> I think the useability problem is just that webmail as a whole has generally been stripped of features.

Yes, I agree
What if the bug fix is right and the tests are wrong?
So you can have a separate one for "internal" and "external" customers perhaps?
GitHub encourages projects to add codes of conduct, the most popular of which are very much open to interpretation. So I guess you could just claim any given issue comment was a CoC violation.
It's the same with Trading212 in the UK

Because they will never do the kind of good that threatens their power and influence.

You're going to find it difficult to engage with the other side in a debate if you have absolutely no idea why the disagree with you. Or worse completely misunderstand their reasoning.

The purpose of these intrusions on E2E encryption is to fight crime and terrorism. It is misconceived and counterproductive, yes, but these people really don't intend to attack citizens in general. They're just woefully ill informed. The way to fight this is to inform them.
Does anyone know if anything similar exists for firefox? I remember trying some such addons a while ago but they were all extremely laggy.
1% of your earnings every year is typically quite a bit more than a legal consultation 1-2x/decade. Unions can provide other things of course, but joining a union in order to avoid paying for a lawyer feels like buying a house to avoid renting a hotel room for a week. (Unions also make it less likely that reviewing terms in your contract that you find objectionable/unworkable would be fruitful. They may make it less necessary, but when it's necessary it often becomes pointless.)
If a patch is a bugfix, it should include a test that fails before the patch, but passes after the patch (along with all of the other tests).
At least they can accept normal special characters and withhold the wires characters
I'd take this a step further: Let's stop pretending there's some sort of "contract" in the first place.

If you weren't told the terms, if you weren't given the option to negotiate, if you weren't even informed that you were party to the contract until after you were ostensibly bound to it, it isn't a contract.

It's a diktat. You are subject to it, not party to it.

Consent matters. Always and everywhere, consent matters. It doesn't just matter in the abstract. It matters in each particular. Consenting to chip in to build a road shouldn't be assumed to be consent to chip in to start a war.

There is no "social contract." There's just subjection of people to power.
> I tried to run a Jitsi server. It's a madness full of Docker impossible things to run and a very long and confusing configuration file.

Sorry to hear that. Any chance you can provide some more details on what you tried and didn't work? I'd like to improve on this.

> I wonder why can't these things be provided as binaries with a simple set of settings.

That's kind of what they already are, but at certain degree of complexity it unfortunately leaks back to the user.

If they were just blocking margin trading or trades with unlimited risk that would be one thing. But this smacks of either paternalism or trying to manipulate the market. I hope they lose a lot of customers (or product depending on your POV).
I’ve got great mileage out of RSS feeds from Reddit and HN. I have them run once a day for the subreddits I find interesting and cruise those in the morning. Then that’s it. No more checking multiple times per day

That way I can engage in a topic if I really want to.
I really like Jitsi. I've been running it on a Digital Ocean droplet for my own use.

The one feature I've been missing is remote control during a screen sharing session. I understand it was removed for security reasons (https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/431). Are there any plans to implement the feature again in the future?

Thanks!
I have anecdotes from friends who have tried to object to terms...and they never seemed to have leverage in the negotiation. In almost every case, their direct boss was in favor of adjusting the terms to appease the employee (my friends) - because the supervisor saw the value in the employee...But either senior management or legal teams on the employer side - not understanding or caring for the value of the employee - are resistant to any adjustment of terms. For those senior members it almost becomes a mini war. Usually they respond within the kind of comments like "if you don't like the terms, go work elsewhere". In essence the majority of direct supervisors want to help employees, but the higher ups act like owners of a factory in late 1800s! So, yeah in theory an employee can object and try to negotiate...but in my almost 3 decades of professional career (as a technologist across numerous different industries), I have *never* heard of any good outcomes for an employee - they either have to accept terms or leave. (If things have turned out great for you, then huzzah for you; I count you in the minority!)
Bill Gates has been on a PR campaign to reform his image since the late 90s. Most people today don’t seem to remember that he had an extremely negative reputation and was very unpopular.

Pretty sure many common words are not being filtered out.
For example, EOD (usually "End of day") is "Wells Fargo Global Dividend Opportunity Fund". I can guarantee no WSBer is going to buy such a "classic" investment.
You would be surprised, as I was, how much raw documents and primary sources much much older than 2000/1995 (to take your 20/25 year reference) are available, thanks to various digitization efforts. Check my notes for some nice sources dating back to the 60s.

(Not in my notes but just yesterday I stumbled upon the original 1990 memo by adobe co-founder John Warnock for the PDF project, Camelot. Great read)

You are absolutely right that there’s so much more in boxes somewhere and in the mind of the people who were there, but as a starting point online archives are great. We can only encourage more digitization of more archives (it’s a lot or works, organizing and sorting even before scanning)
That's a bold statement, you think it's so obvious? Do you think not being able to shut down child pornographic trading communities is a lesser evil than shutting down WSB discord?
This is important. We need some vocabulary definitions for all different levels/aspects of "open".

Open Access, or not.

Open for contribution... or not.

Commit ownership transferals, or not.

In some cases there are whole steering committees.
There are two kinds of people involved: those trying to make a point and those trying to make a buck.

Some people trying to make a point are going to make a lot of bucks as well.

And some people trying to make a buck are going to lose a lot of money. Not everyone can get out of an inflated stock with gains, pretty much by definition. And those least likely to understand the point are also probably the ones buying into the stock late (and at an inflated price).

The mix of who makes and loses money is going to affect how society sees this. It will look somewhere between an egalitarian social movement, or a few now-wealthy loudmouths who took everyone else for a ride.

Making money in a bubble is all about timing... and it gets ethically complicated when some traders have control of the timing (in this case by declaring whether the vendetta against Melvin is over or not).

Note that I have made no ethical considerations for Melvin; they knew what game they were playing and are not victims here IMO.
As a teenager, I was heavily into butterflies and moths for a while. Now, several decades later, I am back living very close to the same area, and have renewed that interest -- and although I am fortunate to live near some of the top butterfly habitats in the country, it's shocking how few of them I see, compared to how things were just one generation ago.

It will always be traceable and you can see that many fintecht companies that make things easier (like bunq and N26) also catch a lot of attention from bad guys and at the same time seem to freeze quite some accounts based on suspicious activity (I see that on the forums, I think there are a lot of false positives as well). A lot of "Whatsapp fraud money" seems to move through these companies, no wonder because with some you can get several cards activated immediately, funnel money through hopeless people's accounts into bitcoin exchanges or cash and it's gone.

Anyway, we can only hope they won't outlaw cryptocurrencies to have a glimmer of hope for anonymous payment in the future.
